1. Introduction
In differential geometry, the curvature of a Riemannian manifold plays a basic role and the sectional curvature of a manifold determines the curvature tensor completely. A Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature is called a real-space-form. In contact metric geometry, a Sasakian manifold (resp. Kenmotsu manifold) with constant -sectional curvature is called Sasakian-space-form (resp. Kenmotsu-space-form) and it has a specific form of its curvature tensor. In 2004, Alegre et al. [1] introduced the notion of generalized Sasakian-space-form, which can be treated as a generalization of Sasakian, Kenmotsu and Cosymplectic space-form. An almost contact metric manifold with a -sectional curvature is called a generalized Sasakian-space-form and it is denoted by . The curvature tensor of is given by [1]:
[TABLE]
for all vector fields , where are differentiable functions on . The -sectional curvature of generalized Sasakian-space-form is . Also, this notion contains a large class of almost contact manifolds. For example, any three-dimensional -trans-Sasakian manifold, where and depending on is a generalized Sasakian-space-form. In particular, if , then the generalized Sasakian-space-form reduces to the notion of Sasakian-space-form. The generalized Sasakian-space-forms have also been studied in [2, 3, 4, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 24, 26] and many other instances. In 2008, Alegre and carriazo [2] studied generalized Sasakian-space-form admitting trans-Sasakian structure. In this paper, we studied generalized Sasakian-space-form admitting Sasakian structure and we call such manifold as Sasakian generalized Sasakian-space-form.
In modern analysis, the theory of invariant submanifolds have become today a specialized area of research due to its significant applications in applied mathematics and theoretical physics. The geometry of invariant submanifolds of almost contact manifolds was first appeared in the works of Yano and Ishihara [28]. Later, sevaral studies (see, [8, 11, 15, 18, 23, 25]) have been done on invariant submanifolds of various kinds of almost contact manifolds. For example, in [17], Kon proved that invariant submanifolds of a Sasakian manifold are totally geodesic if their second fundamental forms are covariantly constant. De and Majhi [9] proved that an invariant submanifold of a Kenmotsu manifold is totally geodesic if and only if or , where , and denote the second fundamental form, curvature tensor and Ricci tensor of , respectively. Invariant submanifolds of a trans-Sasakian manifolds were studied in [24] and [26]. Further, Hu and Wang [12] investigated that an invariant submanifold of a trans-Sasakian manifold is totally geodesic if and only if , , , or , respectively, where and denote the concircular curvature tensor and curvature tensor of , respectively.
Nowadays, several authors started to study the geometry of submanifolds in the space-forms. Yildiz and Murathan [30] studied invariant submanifolds of Sasakian-space-forms. In [3], Alegre and Carriazo studied some submanifolds of generalized Sasakian-space-forms. Recently, Hui et. al.[16] studied parallel, semiparallel and 2-semiparallel invariant submanifolds of generalized Sasakian-space-forms. They also obtained the sufficient conditions of any submanifold of a generalized Sasakian-space-forms to be invariant. Motivated by the above circumstances, in this paper, we continue the study of invariant submanifolds of Sasakian generalized Sasakian-space-forms satisfying certain conditions.
The paper is organized as follows: Section 2 is concerned with some preliminaries. In section 3, we study invariant submanifold of Sasakian generalized Sasakian-space-forms and prove that it is totally geodesic if and only if the second fundamental form of satisfies the conditions , , , , or . As a consequence of main results we obtain several corollaries.
